Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it “determined the individual in question was not the target.”
Masked immigration authorities were recorded on video this week following a woman back to her Louisiana home during what the Department of Homeland Security is calling a “targeted immigration enforcement operation.”
Jacelynn Guzman, 23, was walking home Thursday from a corner store in Marrero, a New Orleans suburb, when a silver, unmarked SUV pulled up next to her and two masked agents exited, she said.
“I was walking and the first car pulled up on the side of me and I thought it was an Uber,” she said. “They said, ‘Wait don’t run, Ma’am.’ That’s all I heard before I blasted off,” Guzman told NBC News on Saturday.
Guzman said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.
I was wondering when they’d land down here, and I’m not sure Baton Rouge or New Orleans are good places to try these stunts. Perfect place to lose some of your guys or at least find out how many people have unregistered firearms. Oh, ya’ll didn’t check to see if these people are “Constitutional Carry” participants… Seems like something you’d not want to try around these parts.
